To Quit or Not to Quit

So that's the oprative Question of the Day.

Here's the Senerio.

As most of you know, I was without a job through some of July, August, and Some of September. Regardless, I had enough money saved up to afford to play NERO through this time of financial non-income. Recently I got a job, but as can be expected I'm rather broke catching up on bills and paying people that I owe money to. As well as tending to some unexpected expences, like a tire that tried to shred itself from the inside out.

SO

I'd been holding $50 in reserve specifically for NERO (lord know's i could have spent it on something else to take care of bills etc.. but I held it for NERO none the less). I was holding it for an event that I've been waiting on when a plot line that I'm involved in would require my presence. I was told it would happen Last Month, so I spent my $50 and went to that event. Nothing. Wasted money, and my plotline never came around.

SO

I could not afford to go to this past event, and LOW AND BEHOLD my plotline comes around and I miss it. NOW I'm being told that If I can't show up to the next one (which I might not be able to afford) I will be dropped from the line.
I UNDERSTAND that I'll fall behind the group and that the group involved needs to progress and need dependable people.
HOWEVER Ultimatly I'm PAYING for Entertainment. This Plot line happens to be one of the few reasons I show up in the first place, and now they are telling me that because of circumstances I CAN'T HELP out of game, I'm going to be punished IN GAME.

Keep in mind that if I show up to the next event, they probably won't drop me.

Now that you have the story; here is the question?

TO QUIT or NOT TO QUIT

My current thinking is that I'm going to not play the game for two reasons
1. I'm peing punished in game for circumstances I can't controll in real life.
2. Even if I don't get dropped from the line because I can make it to the next event I might quit anyway on the principal that they would do the above.

So I'm asking for opinions

TO QUIT or NOT TO QUIT?
